Discovery of four Narrow-line Type-1 Quasars at z = 2.54 -- 6.06 with Subaru 'Onohi'ula PFS-SSP

Ayumi Takahashi, Yoshiki Matsuoka, Yoshiki Toba +21

We report the discovery of four narrow-line type-1 quasars (NLQ1s) from the Subaru 'Onohi'ula Prime Focus Spectrograph Subaru Strategic Program (PFS-SSP). To extend a comprehensive…

Nebular_AGN: A CIGALE module for fitting active galactic nucleus emission lines

Hao Zhang, Patrice Theule, Veronique Buat +3

Aims. The increasing discovery of high-redshift AGNs in recent years imposes more stringent requirements on spectral analysis tools for deriving the properties of AGNs and their ho…

Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XV. Reverberation Mapping of Mg II Emission Lines

Hua-Rui Bai, Pu Du, Chen Hu +25

As the 15th paper in a series reporting on a large reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of super-Eddington accreting massive black holes (SEAMBHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs),…

Little red dots as embryos of active galactic nuclei

Jian-Min Wang, Yi-Lin Wang, Yong-Jie Chen +7

As an unprecedented large population in the early universe, the JWST-discovered little red dots (LRDs) have garnered much attention for formation of massive black holes and galaxie…

Detection of unexpected leading delays in broad Hβ line reverberations in the quasar PHL 1092

Jian-Min Wang, Chen Hu, Yong-Jie Chen +12

Delayed reverberations of broad emission lines in response to optical continuum variations have been widely observed in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). They serve as a powerful tool…

Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Measuring Geometric Distances and Black Hole Masses of Four Nearby Quasars

Yan-Rong Li, Jinyi Shangguan, Jian-Min Wang +35

The geometric distances of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are challenging to measure because of their exceptionally compact structure yet vast cosmic distances. A combination of spe…
